Hello everyone, and hello to the guys who responded to my first post. Thank you, and I apologize for writing such a clumsy post; I was stressed. I have included a link to the previous post in this post.
PC specifications:

Model - Firebat A08

CPU - Ryzen 7 8745HS

GPU - AMD 780M

RAM - DDR5 5600MHz 8GBx2

SSD - 1TB Crucial

Here's the situation:

On January 17, I installed the Bazzite distribution, the installation process completed correctly, I rebooted the live system, and removed the live ISO media. After rebooting, I logged in as a user, launched Steam, and started downloading Guilty Gear Strive. I also installed vscode via bazaar and started downloading zephyr and setting up the workspace. I left the computer downloading Guilty Gear and the zephyr kernel for microcontrollers and went to bed.

This morning, January 18, I woke up and the first thing I did was check if everything had downloaded, only to find that the computer couldn't turn on the screen. I left it like that for 10 minutes, thinking that it was just frozen, which can happen, and hoped it would come back on by itself, and went to do my morning chores.

When I came back, I saw that the situation hadn't changed, so I forced it to shut down by holding down the power button. Then I pressed the power button.

When I turned it on, the power button lit up, the TDP switch button lit up, and I heard the fan start up. The screen flashed (the backlight turned on), but there was no image. Usually, the mini PC would first display its logo and then boot up the system.

What I've already done:

I rebooted several times, removed components one by one trying to get something to work, replaced the SSD in this PC with another one with Win11 installed. I changed the ports through which I connected the monitor, DP and HDMI. I disconnected and reconnected USB peripherals in different combinations. I rewritten the SSD that was originally in the PC and installed the proven Mint on it.

What I found out during this time:

The computer boots up, appears on the network, i.e., it is not bricked. The computer goes to sleep and responds when I press keys on the keyboard. It responds with a refusal on SSH.

Hi, is there a way to run the Logitech G-Hub software to run on my Bazzite? I would love to configure the rgb of my G915…

I’m currently in college and none of my consoles can connect to the Wi-Fi because they are not compatible with enterprise networks. I can’t use ethernet so I thought maybe this seemed debt could be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot, but I’m not really sure how I could do it. Any help is appreciated.

i know that amd tends to work better on linux. i would like to know if it is worth it to get a full amd pc if i use linux, specifically cachyos

my pc history was a 1080 and intel i7-7700k for 5 years, and then a 4090 intel ultra 9 185h laptop for school, i would like to get a desktop again because i miss the desktop experience. i swapped to linux about 2 months ago and am most certainly never looking back. I would like to build a full tilt linux desktop, and i am consisdering whether i should go all into amd or go for something like a 5080 and an amd cpu, a 5090 is most likely off the table.

i was considering something like a ryzen 7 9800x3d (perhaps 9850x3d if it launches soon), and a 9070xt.

my main concern is going from dlss to fsr. as much as i dislike being like this, i get heavy pleasure from seeing high quality in games, and i know that factually fsr is is worse in quality compared to dlss 4, especially 4.5. would it be better to use an amd gpu on cachyos or an nvidia card? i'm most certainly set in stone when it comes to the ryzen 7 9800x3d (or 9850x3d).

Dear Youtube reviewers,

If you have never used a linux distro in your life, and are complaining about Windows 11, and moaning about the AI slop, please stop saying stuff like "Linux is fine as long as it's not used for gaming" because you sound just as bad as the AI slop you are complaining about, knowing nothing about the topic.... yet chiming in and spreading misinformation to the general public. Thanks (in reference to a channel called 'Adam Something' with 1.33M subs).

So I'm using original xbox contoller s series via wifi dongle with driver xone-dkms-git 0.5.0.r0.ge927feb-1.

It's detected system-wide and working correctly but not in wine or proton

If I enable SDL and disable hidraw and restart wine it's starting to work again

Problem is I have to do every time I change proton version I'm doing this through protontricks and it's a little bit annoying

I wonder if I have something misconfigured does anyone else has this problem? Can I force this settings via env variables?

I'm using arch (btw)

Hello guys, i need help. Installed bazzite on my pc yesterday (trying new shades of gaming), everything was ok, left it for the night to download couple things. This morning i see this shite. The screen is powered on, it has some signal from the pc, but, no image. Im sitting there for 30 minutes. While i was with linux mint (on other pc), and windows 11, there was none of that issue. Im not native so sorry if everything.

1. Setup vortex for linux either by following my guide or using NaK
2. Launch Skyrim at least once
3. Follow the rest of the official guide

5a. The last step from the guide about launching it through the tools section may not work, if so follow these steps

5b. Open Steam, +add a game (Bottom left corner) add a non steam game

5c. Locate SkyrimTogether.exe, if following this guide, located in "/home/$USER/games/steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data/SkyrimTogetherReborn/SkyrimTogether.exe"

5d. right click SkyrimTogether entry on steam, hit properties, shortcut and add this to launch option

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/" %command%

or if using modified install location

STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="/home/$USER/games/steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/" %command%

Could not have made this guide without this amazing video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fEO6UAJuXs

I’m on Fedora (Workstation) and trying to understand the current state of running Roblox on Linux. I’m aware there’s no official native Linux client and that most Wine/Lutris/Grapejuice approaches have been broken due to anti-cheat changes. Before I waste time experimenting, I wanted to ask:

Are there any working methods right now on Fedora (browser, VM, etc.)?

Has anyone had success recently with KVM/QEMU + Windows VM?

Is browser-based play the only realistic option at this point?

I’m not looking for hacks or shady workarounds — just trying to understand what’s realistically possible on a modern Fedora setup in 2025. Appreciate insights from anyone who’s tested this recently.

I'm trying to play Arc Raiders on Bazzite (fresh new install) and i can not get over 30. On window 10 (yes I know shut up) I was getting 60 to 100 easy. It seems like something is not using my full hardware capabilities. Is there a setting I have missed?

Specs:

5950x

3070

32 GB @ 4000MHz

Bazzite on nvme

Hytale runs like a well-oiled machine on Linux Mint. However, I currently have to open the terminal every time I want to boot the launcher for the game. Is there a way that I can have a shortcut on my desktop like the Minecraft launcher that can boot the flatpak? I’m relatively new to Linux so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I swear, all I did was run Path of Exile 2 through ProtonGE. My laptop crashed, I rebooted.

Now I'm suddenly on emergency shell and nothings does anything. Then I reboot again and my Laptop's keyboard is blinking while the screen is refusing to turn on. At least when it DID turn on I could boot into a partition where I had arch iso.

Couldn't recover the disk, lost some files on a Gay-Berne Liquid Crystal Monte Carlo simulation but nothing too important.

What the hell dude.

I use Arch btw.

I know I'm supposed to use timidity. I have a soundfont, but it just won't work. Timidity launches just fine, but when I start the game, there's still no music. My distro is cachyos if that matters.

Hello!

dont hate me, im at Linux noob.

from what I understand, the reason games like League and Valorant cannot run on Linux is due to their AC being kernel level (as far as I know battleEye, ricochet, easyAC, and whatever thag tencent one is are kernel level as well).

since I have no issue with games having kernel level AC since I have a gaming rig separate from my personal devices (I dont game and store locations of dead bodies on the same device) is there some OS that is light weight and not as bloated as windows that can run everything? is that SteamOS going to work for these games?

Hi there, I'm currently running CachyOS. While I'm aware I could add "gamemoderun %command%" to the launch options for each game individually, i'd much prefer if there was a way to tell my computer to just run GameMode whenever a game runs through steam. Is there a way to do this?

This might depend on your specific setup, but I'm writing this in case it helps someone else struggling with no sound from Steam right after installing it.

my setup is: Arch Linux: AMD Thread Ripper 2970WX Nvidia A4000 64G RAM/DDR4 Plasma 6.5.5 Wayland Cranborne Audio 500R8 and essential PC equipment

I have a studio-grade audio interface with a very large number of channels.
I was struggling with an issue where, using Steam Linux (Native/flatpak) + Pipewire/Pluse or Bottles+EA App, the Windows UI sound worked, but crucially, the game audio itself wouldn't play.

Steam's logs offered no clues. However, observing the behavior with qpwgraph, I noticed the game's audio engine would briefly pop up and then disappear.

This sparked an intuition: perhaps it was crashing due to mismanaging channel counts? I created a 2-channel virtual device in "$HOME/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/" and routed it to OpenSoundMeter, where the meter moved correctly.

Therefore, by writing a .conf file like this and routing the 2-channel audio to the first monitor output of my 30-channel Cranbone Audio 500R8, the sound now works properly.

```

nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/99-gamesink.conf If you use this configuration, run "pactl list sinks | grep “Name:” " to obtain the audio device name and route from the virtual device to it.

context.modules = [ { name = libpipewire-module-loopback args = { node.description = "Game Audio to Cranborne" audio.position = [ FL FR ] capture.props = { media.class = "Audio/Sink" node.name = "game_sink" } playback.props = { node.name = "alsa_output.usb-Cranborne_Audio_Ltd_500R8-00.pro-output-0" node.target = "alsa_output.usb-Cranborne_Audio_Ltd_500R8-00.pro-output-0" target.object = "alsa_output.usb-Cranborne_Audio_Ltd_500R8-00.pro-output-0" audio.position = [ AUX0 AUX1 ] stream.dont-remix = true node.passive = false } } } ] ```

Additionally, after verifying whether this error reproduces across various channel counts, I found:

• It occurs frequently in games from the 200x-1x era
• The crash threshold channel count varies by game
• Unity/UE + FMOD or Wwise implementations often intelligently recognize channel counts

For now, create a safe 2-channel virtual device that won't produce such sounds.

Then set it as the Default Audio device in Pavucontrol. Launch the game and check if its meter moves to verify it works.
```

nano ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/99-test-2ch-sink.conf This config does output no sound.

context.objects = [ { factory = adapter args = { factory.name = support.null-audio-sink node.name = "null_stereo_sink" node.description = "Null Stereo Sink (2ch)" media.class = "Audio/Sink" audio.channels = 2 audio.position = [ FL FR ] audio.rate = 48000 } } ] ```

I hope this method, which worked for this setup extremely rare audio device for Linux gamer, proves useful to someone.
